Best Answer

A sonata is a three-movement piece for solo piano or any solo instrument with or without piano accompaniment. Sonata-allegro refers to a particular form originally used in one-movement pieces, later incorporated in the three-movement sonata which was named for the form. A typical sonata-allegro form is

I first theme, expansion

II second theme, expansion

III development of the opening theme or themes

IV recapitulation of the themes

V coda

Sonata-allegro originally included tonal relationships between the first and second themes, tonal freedom during the development, and tonal unity of the recapitulation and coda.

When did Domenico Scarlatti establish Sonata-Allegro form?

It is not certain that any one man "established" sonata-allegro form. It developed organically, over time, from the simpler a-b-a tertiary form. Embellishments on the main theme in the "b" section gradually became the more adventurous development section of the true sonata-allegro. Most of Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas did not adhere to what Haydn and Mozart would have recognized as a sonata-allegro form.

What does allegro form mean in classical music?

'Allegro' means 'quite fast and lively'. There is no such thing as 'allegro form', and what I think you may mean is 'sonata allegro form', which is another version of the more common 'sonata form'. This is the form in which most first movements, and some last movements, of classical and romantic symphonies are written. The form is also used for such genres as string quartets, piano sonatas, and so on. It is described in detail elsewhere on this site.
